up for help

[Ben]

to hash or one-way-encrypt data with other algorithms than md5 either see crypt() (http://de.php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php) or use sha1() (http://de.php.net/manual/en/function.sha1.php).

for real en/decryption check gnupg implementation in php (http://de.php.net/manual/en/book.gnupg.php)

you may also check http://pear.php.net for other usefull things here.

thanks Ben

but what about sha265 ?

i don't know. I can't search more in the www than you can ;) (google would guide you to usercomments like the following).


Source: http://us2.php.net/sha1

Note that the sha1 algorithm has been compromised and is no longer being used by government agencies.

As of PHP 5.1.2 a new set of hashing functions are available.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.hash.php

The new function hash() supports a new range of hashing methods.

echo hash('sha256', 'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.');

It is recommended that developers start to future proof their applications by using the stronger sha-2, hashing methods such as sha256, sha384, sha512 or better.

As of PHP 5.1.2 hash_algos() returns an array of system specific or registered hashing algorithms methods that are available to PHP.

print_r(hash_algos());


Btw are you looking for something specific? As you mentioned some (hasing) algorithms above, but not sha256 but even the much weaker md4...
